I would like to introduce TNT MEATS, a farm direct meat
marketing business, operating a provincially inspected, full
service abattoir/ meat processing/ sausage making facility.
Due to a change in personal circumstances, we are
selling our business, to pursue an alternate business
opportunity. This letter
is intended for business people looking to manage and/or operate a
turnkey, full process meat facility.
We are located in the growing, prosperous and resource rich
community of Edson, AB. We
are the only provincially inspected
facility within a 200 km radius.
Our customers include a number of large feedlots, numerous
family farms, plus a large number of
Elk and Bison ranches. In
addition, we process a substantial amount of wild game, as we are part
of a large hunting area.
Recent co-operative meetings suggest that major federal
processing plants are the only solution to the industry’s
challenges. We disagree -
the advantages of a smaller scale, farm direct marketing plant
include:
(A)
- Greater control of “hands on” business dealings with producers
and with your customer base through
“farm to fork” trace ability of meat products.
(B)
-Control over development of
a business plan which incorporates flexibility and diversity within
day to day operations.
(C)
-“Security of Investment” more secure due to lower overhead and
administration expenses, in contrast to large beaurocratic operations
where some things are
less efficient and more expensive to operate.
(D)
-Investing in a smaller scale, turnkey packing plant like TNT MEATS ,
allows the entrepreneur(s) the ability to access an immediate solution
to the immediate problem at hand, without having to wait 1-2 years for
a larger packing plant to be studied, approved and built.
(E)
- OUR GROWTH PATTERN SHOWS :
Total
Revenue 2001 - 2002 - UP 55%
2002 - 2003
- UP 30%
2003 - 2004
- UP 10%
Kill Floor
2001 - 2002 - UP 70%
2002 - 2003
- UP 30%
We
also could have had 40% more revenue on the kill floor in 2004, with
more freezer area. (New
freezer has now been installed in the fall of 2004)
TNT Meats has built a solid reputation over the past 10 years,
based on our clean facility, quality products, and excellent service,
resulting in many loyal producers and customers.
Since we purchased our business, we have reconstructed 75% of
the existing building to meet 2002 Meat Facility Standards.
